Netanyahu Ties in Chess Against Gelfand

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday took an hour from his busy schedule for a game of chess against world champion Boris Gelfand. Jewish Agency for Israel Chairman Natan Sharansky was at the prime minister�s side, assisting and lending support. Sharansky is known as a formidable chess player.

The game ended in a tie, as did an earlier game between Sharansky and Gelfand.

  1. “… Natan Sharansky was at the prime minister�s side, assisting and lending support.”

    “…an earlier game between Sharansky and Gelfand.”
    So Sharansky played, not Netanyahu?
